Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On February [-]th, the main force of Zheng's army suddenly appeared in Wanquan Hebei. The shocked Qing troops left their original camps and gathered into groups.But to the surprise of the Qing army, Zheng Jun watched the Qing army gather, but did not launch an attack immediately, but assumed a posture of digging out the village and defending himself.

For Zheng Jun's actions, the Qing army's high-level officials quickly came to the correct judgment. Out of concerns about the lack of support and the lack of food roads, the three Qing troops did not care about verifying He Fu's life and death in Henan. The decision to retreat.However, it is not easy to withdraw from under Zheng Jun's nose without any damage. No, the Qing army just started to move, and the Zheng Jun commanded by Wu Shu decisively sent troops to intercept it.

It seems that the two sides did not have a fight, and the Qing army could not retreat with the whole army, but something unexpected happened.

The Eight Banners cavalry commanded by Shumulukqi left the slow-moving infantry and fled regardless of their own strength to fight.It didn't matter if the Eight Banners soldiers fled like this, the tens of thousands of Qing troops immediately collapsed completely.Generals at all levels who had horses fled one after another, while those without horses also fled to the mountains and seaside.

Seeing this scene, Wu Shu, who was surprised for a while, quickly adjusted his subordinates. He used Zuo Yongwei Division and Zuo Longxiang Division to suppress and arrest the defeated Qing army.

On February [-]th, Zheng Jun, who came from the direction of Anding, appeared outside Baisha Water Village. Although the Eight Banners had just retreated to Wenchang at this time, the news of the defeat of the Qing army had already spread along with the rest of the navy returning to the north. Back to Baisha.When people in Baisha were panicking, the appearance of Zheng Jun forced the defenders to close their camps.However, since there are still more than [-] marine and land soldiers in the water village, the Qing army still has the confidence to hold on to Qiongzhou and Guangdong Province after emergency.

Since heavy weapons such as artillery were still being transported, Wu Shu, who was worried about losing his troops, did not order an immediate attack on the water village.

On February 22, more than [-] Qing troops who had withdrawn from Wenchang and Huitong passed through Baisha Water Village. Just as the defenders of the water village were trying to contact the Qing army to attack the Zheng Army, most of the retreating troops The Eight Banners cavalry once again displayed their super-speed mobility, once again throwing off the friendly forces and fled to Qiongshan on their own.

After the Eight Banners cavalry fled without a fight, the remaining thousand and five Qing troops who had no fighting spirit took the initiative to beg for surrender.Wu Shu, who didn't wait for the artillery to arrive, then drove the newly attached army ants to attack the village.Although the Baisha garrison repelled these new appendages twice and inflicted great damage, their confidence in holding on to the water village and waiting for reinforcements has been completely lost.

On February 23, Zheng Jun's artillery arrived in front of the formation. After some shooting, Zheng Jun was ready for a strong attack.Seeing the sharp artillery fire of the Zheng army, the guards of the Qing army and some of the pro-army who felt that the water village could no longer hold on fled back to the mainland overnight in a few Guangzhou boats and long dragons. Early in the morning, he opened his village and surrendered.After simply organizing thousands of surrendered troops, Wu Shu left a regiment to guard Baisha, and the rest of the troops approached Qiongzhou non-stop, so they encircled Qiongzhou Fucheng on the 25th, and the Qing army of about 7000 people was surrounded in Fucheng. .

On February 26, Wu Shu sent the captured Qing army into the city with a letter to persuade them to surrender, but was rejected by the Qing army, so Zheng Jun collected all kinds of wood to build ladders and other siege equipment to prepare for a storm.

On February 28, Zuo Yongwei Division and Zuo Longxiang Division of Zheng Jun, escorting more than [-] soldiers from the Ding and Ma divisions, arrived at Qiongzhou City.So far, including the [-] newly attached troops, the Zheng army has assembled a huge force of more than [-] people and more than [-] artillery pieces of various types. An inevitable bloody siege battle is about to begin.

On March [-], amidst the thunder of three-and-a-half-inch guns, Zheng Jun launched the first wave of attack. Thousands of newly attached troops, driven by Zheng Jun, braved the bullets from the city's head and first attacked Hekouhe (Note: Meishe River) ) used sandbags to fill up more than a dozen passages with a width of several people and erected several simple box-type pontoon bridges, and then attacked the top of the city twice.The Qing army defending the city resisted desperately. Although they repelled Zheng Jun's offensive for the second time, they suffered extremely heavy losses from the artillery fire supported by Zheng Jun.

On March 5000th, more than [-] prisoners of the Qing army captured in Wanquanhe were also escorted to Qiongzhou under the escort of Zheng Jun, and immediately filled in the teams of the new attached army. guarantee their lives.Relying on the desire to survive and the absolute superiority of the newly attached troops, Zheng Jun captured the Hue Gate (West Gate) outside the Hue Gate (West Gate) without any casualties. sub city.

On March 8000th, the remaining more than [-] newly attached troops attacked Qiongzhou in four directions. The Qing army was tired of coping, so they lost Yongtai Gate (East Gate) and Jingnan Gate around noon that day.The newly attached army who entered the gate followed the city wall to attack Hue Gate, and at the same time went straight to the magistrate and the general's yamen. The two sides fought each other on the long street, and blood flowed like a river.

The Qing army is fighting less and less, but the continuous stream of new attached troops is killing intent, so the balance of victory is self-evidently tilted towards Ming and Zheng.In the middle of the afternoon, the second hall of the government office in Qiongzhou fell, and the prefect of Qiongzhou chose to hang himself for his loyalty.Not only half an hour later, Qiongzhou General Soldier also died in the hands of his former comrades in the process of defending the General Soldier's Yamen.As for the cowardly Vice-Captain Keqi, this time he had no escape, he chose the most tragic way through fire.

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, the main force of the Zheng army took over the three gates one after another, and then mobilized troops to purge the new attached army that was burning, killing and looting everywhere in the city. Only then did the order in the city come under control, but at this time half of Qiongzhou had been reduced to rubble

The news of the fall of Qiongzhou spread westward like a shock wave. The gentry and officials of Lingao and Chengmai counties boasted that they could not resist Zheng Jun's attack and fled to the mainland in small boats. He chose to surrender the whole city, and Qiongzhou fell into the hands of Zheng Jun for the first time.

"Change Wu Shu to be the Boss of Lingshui, add [-] households to Shiyi, and return to Taiwan to recount the merits of the rest of the officials."

Hearing Zheng Kezang's reward, Wu Shu was a little apprehensive and apprehensive. Apart from other things, other people's rewards have not yet been determined. Why should I add [-] households first? Moreover, Ming Zheng is now divided into three grades of earls, and the county count is one of them. The highest level, after that, only the Marquis can be promoted to him, but how many Marquis does Ming Zheng have now?Except for Chen Long, the Labuan Marquis who is almost allotted, there is no one!

Wu Shu, who felt overwhelmed by the heights, was afraid that Liu Guoxuan's story would repeat itself, so she hastily pushed back: "This battle is the result of the concerted efforts of all of you, Lord Sun and the others even forced He Fu back, sir."

"Wu Qing, Sun Qing, Mao Qing, etc.'s credit, I remember clearly, but although Qiongzhou won, but for this feudal clan, everything is not over yet, so I have to postpone it and count it again, but Qing and Gu We are going back to Dongning soon, so the award in advance is also a kind of encouragement to Zhuqing." Zheng Kezang interrupted Wu Shu's self-effacing with a smile, and this battle was indeed enlightening for Zheng Kezang The enlightenment of the empowerment, it turns out that the new attached army can use it in this way, so it is normal to have extra grace. "By the way, has Qing made a charter for the withdrawal of troops?"

"My minister, please select some elites from the new attached army to fill in the gaps in the divisions." This is what it should mean. There are still more than 6000 complete new attached troops. This is nothing to Mingzheng who is about to withdraw. It's a good thing, of course it has to be cut again and again. "In addition, the Anping Remaining Department had a supplementary report before, and I thought it could be transferred from the new attached army."

"No, the left-behind division of Anping has a heavy responsibility. It cannot be transferred from the new attached army for the time being. It can be filled with half a sentry from the Qiong Sixth Division. If each division is insufficient, the new attached army will fill it in." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang Suddenly thought of something. "A half sentry will be drawn from each of the Zuohuwei and Zuoyongwei divisions, and a group of 500 people will be drawn from the new attached army. We must send them to Xiboni."

Zheng Kezang has already sent Chen Long's son in Boni, but the orphan is not alive, so Zheng Kezang has to send someone to settle in Boni, but this time Zheng Kezang doesn't want some independent small The country was closed, so there was this scene of betting on the capital.

Xibo mud?Wu Shu naturally didn't know Zheng Kezang's intentions, but there were only 500 people, of which there were only more than 100 veterans of the Zheng army.

"Before the windy season, I can withdraw two divisions from Qiongzhou first, so that even if the Qing army returns, it will have a defense." So Wu Shu continued the previous topic. "The Military Academy recommends withdrawing Zuo Longxiang's division first." This is a new division, and I think the division will not compete with other senior divisions. "The other division, I suggest is the Youwuwei Division."

"Yes." Zheng Kezang agreed without thinking, but added another sentence about the new attached army. "Dial another [-] new attached troops to Bintong Longjiao Caitong"

Not long after Wu Shu left, the guard Xi Daping walked in: "My lord, good news, He Fu has been caught."

Zheng Kezang raised his brows, and heard Xi Daping report: "He Fu didn't know that we had captured Qiongzhou, so he rushed in in a daze, but it was really miserable. There were only four relatives around, and the rest I guess they were pulled down by him."

"Pass down the order to let the Qing army scattered in various townships voluntarily surrender." Zheng Kezang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, he didn't have time to suppress the bandits. "Tell them that all defectors will be forgiven for their innocence, and if there is a peace negotiation, they can be released to the mainland first." Just as Xi Daping was about to retreat, Zheng Kezang called him again. "Let the Zhizhou who surrendered in Kaesong come to see Gu." Zheng Kezang has been in Qiongzhou for many months. He found that due to the war and forced relocation to real Taiwan, the states and counties under Ming Zheng's rule were seriously deserted. It is inevitable, and this will inevitably affect Ming Zheng's war thinking in Qiongzhou by fighting to support war. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use some local surrendered officials to manage Qiongzhou, so that Zheng Jun can be freed by properly resuming production. "The other magistrate who watched the concubine being humiliated also praised him, let him act as Wanzhou first, and by the way, they can post the so-called surrender notice just now."
